Costa Blanca Holidays

Top Costa Blanca Hotels

Costa Blanca Weather

One of the key reasons why resorts on the Costa Blanca proves so popular is the area's irresistible climate. It is perfect for a spot of summer tanning and the beaches never fail to impress. With July and August temperatures often reaching over 30 degrees, these are also the months when rainfall is at its lowest, meaning an uninterrupted day of beach relaxation can almost be guaranteed.

Sea temperatures also peak in the twenties around the same time, yet the breeze from the Mediterranean makes sure the temperature never becomes unbearable. For many, this is the perfect combination, which is why tourists flock back to the Costa Blanca every year.

Things To Do on Costa Blanca Holidays

The Costa Blanca is brimming with things for all the family to do, and is renowned as being one of the most entertaining destinations in Europe. Watersports are available at many of the beaches, and range from a nice family afternoon on a pedaloe to an hour on the thrill seekers best friend, the jet ski. For a more tranquil afternoon at sea, resorts such as Santa Pola offer sea fishing excursions, giving you a chance to explore the coastline in a slightly different way.

If it is thrills and spills which you are looking for, then the Costa Blanca tailors to your needs also. It is home to the famous Terre Mitica theme park, and boasts a variety of water parks, the biggest and often most popular with tourists being Aqualandia near Benidorm. The area is perfect for golfers, with high quality courses stretched right along the coastline, including Campoamor and Las Ramblas to name but a few.

Culture

With over 200 kilometres of coastline, the Costa Blanca is rich in culture, and in parts is very typically Spanish. The cobbled streets of the old town in Altea with its domed blue and white church is just one example of the country's heritage preserved today, attracting nearly as many of those simply looking for the sun. As with the rest of Spain, the inhabitants are often very religious, meaning the fiestas over the Easter week and weekend prove very popular with tourists, and provide perhaps a better insight into how the locals actually live.

As for food, hotels will often advise on the best places to go for some genuine Spanish cuisine, whether it be paella or tapas. Of course, away from the smaller towns and villages are the more renowned holiday resorts. The recently revitalised Benidorm is always a holiday makers favourite with its golden beaches and thriving nightlife, although resorts in Alicante and Torrevieja are providing stiff competition.
